Oh how John the Baptist-esque of you.  I take offense. 

He truly is THE DUmmie congressman.  So gullible as to be taken twice, nasty as the day is long, and he lies and projects as well.  It was his ad that lied, turning so many voters off, not the other guy's.  Ugly to boot. 

He wandered in a drunken stupor and hit a bus.

A fool and his money...

Wasn't Grayson in an accident with his rolls and a public bus while Dui ?
What was the outcome of that ?

That was what I was thinking. I hope those poor people the drunkard ran into wipe out the rest of his NAV.

really, twice taken. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me . In addition, I just assumed Alan was one of us great unwashed middle-class guys struggling for a few bucks to stay in office. Just got an e-mail from him saying how he was under attack from the Repukes and needed money. Alan must be up there with the 99% moneywise. Still admire him and glad he's on our side .

1. Its never been a secret that Alan Grayson is quite wealthy.

He also worked for it. And he wants to tax the shit out of it

2. Did he?

He made his fortune as president of a discount telecom corporation (IDT International Discount Telecom), not something we would generally approve of here. And the revelation that he has twice invested his millions in fraudulent schemes suggests that, rather than "earning" money, he is prone to trying to parlay it via risky stock ventures (possibly of the sort that helped to topple the financial industry and cost us little people a lot of bucks).

I'm not the sort that foams at the mouth at wealthy people. I do not. But I sense something amiss here in the same way I always sensed something phony in John Edwards--who was also begging $25 political contributions from the people from his "two Americas" even as he was using it to pay off a pregnant mistress. One difference I'll grant you is that Edwards never showed an iota of progressiveness in any of his politics, while Grayson has (though it must be said that it's at the level of words, still, and until something comes of these words, I'll remain skeptical).

Let's be clear: it's, at minimal, troubling that he has gotten caught twice in these Ponzi-type schemes.

Theres no sin in that in and of itself.

Theres also no sin in investing money and losing out because of someone else's fraud or bad business decisions.

I don't care that Alan Grayson made a lot of money and exercised his right to lose some of it, as long as he wasn't screwing people over himself while doing it and thus far, theres no evidence to support that.

Hmmm, compare that to how you assholes treated Mitt Romney or any conservative or Republican politician.

Keep that in mind, idiots, as you continue to blame everything Conservative.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

But as it turned out I was not disappointed..
